You know what, the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is one of the true design classics of the 20th century. For that reason alone, I always check in at Victor’s site, just to see what is new and the Journey 1884 range are worth a look. Quartz movement or automatic, with prices starting at just £499. Not bad for a Swiss brand, entry level for sure … Continue reading Victorinox is Ready For The Journey
The Timex Marlin range has a new addition, in the shape of a retro chronograph. It has those classic 60s motorsport lines, with a Tachymetre chapter ring, plus piston top pushers on the 40mm case. Kinda chrome finish on the jubilee bracelet too. Inside there is a quartz movement and the caseback has a bit of engraving to spice up the view. At £180 when … Continue reading New Timex Marlin Chronograph on Pre-Order
A couple of new dive models from Indie brand Undone caught our eye recently and with 500m of resistance on offer, plus loads of lume, for under $400, these are great value. The average benchmark these days on everyday divers is about 300m, so 500m gives you some extra cover and the Aqualume model also has full lume across the dial. The Aquadeep just has … Continue reading Two New 500m Divers From Undone
TAG has a new Porsche tie-in watch on the market, available in two variants. The watch celebrates the lasting legacy of the Porsche 911 sports car, sometimes sold as the Carrera too. Bill Gates, that well know climate change activist is believed to own a collection of the iconic rear engined sportscars. But that’s OK, he’s rich, we are just climate deniers… Anyhoo, there are … Continue reading TAG Carrera Celebrates Porsche 911/Carrera Heritage
The Longines range is constantly being revamped and updated and the latest HydroConquest dive watch is a classic example. It now boasts 300m of water resistance, up from the old 200m benchmark. Plus there’s a GMT hand, which makes this more of an all-rounder wristwatch, not just a diver. The new colours also include a nice bottle green which we think is the collectors choice, … Continue reading New Longines HydroConquest Gets GMT, 72hr Reserve & More
There are many ways to promote a watch brand these days. You can market your Longines to the horsey brigade at Eventing, showjumping or similar gatherings, Rolex love that tennis vibe, Omega have done pretty well with the James Bond movie franchise up until the departure of Daniel Craig. But here’s a novel approach from HVILINA, an Eastern European brand which has just launched the … Continue reading HVILINA 12 Minutes: Game Collab Convertible is A Winner
The Deep Blue Master 2000 is arguably one of the cheapest ways to get into seriously go-balls-deep dive watches, because at 2000m rated there is nothing on the watch market that matches this spec, at this bargain price. OK, apart from deep wreck explorers and oil rig repair teams, we cannot think of anyone who really needs to venture 2000m, or over 6,000 feet under … Continue reading A 2000m Dive Watch For Under $500? Yes, This Weekend Only

Now there are fresh stocks of the orange divers GX model, which has a Swiss auto movement inside, sapphire crystal, 300m of resistance and a segmented dial with a cyclops on the date window. It’s a real value package at $790 we think. It has … Continue reading Just a Heads Up: LIV 44mm Diver in Orange is Back in Stock
